Don't Drink and Drone

Written By: GroupGets Will | December 19, 2018

We’ve got some great new group buys online to finish the year strong. The 96Boards community mezzanine initiative is back with a no-compromise audio development board. NVJumpstarter wants to illuminate your favorite drinking games, HolyBro is back with some Pixhawk 4 powered quadcopters, and DroneNerds has a hot new DJI Mavic with integrated FLIR Boson 640 rig that has been flying off of the shelf in our store. And for the daring, SparkFun has put forth a hardware alternate reality puzzle.

96Boards I2S Mezzanine

We're happy to announce the second open source Mezzanine board campaign from the 96Boards community. The Integrated Inter-IC Sound Bus (I2S) Mezzanine is a no-compromise audio development board featuring a capable TI miniDSP, 3 analog inputs, and one microphone input. Mix it up!

Drinking, but with LED’s

NVJumpstarter wants you to brighten up those awkward holiday parties and the new year by adding some LED’s to your drinking. This Arduino-powered kit comes plug-and-play but is of course reprogrammable for you overachievers out there, you know who you are. NVJumpstarter inhabits the same building as us so we can vouch that this kit and team are legit.
